Can anyone figure this out? Need help asap

(a/b)^n = (a^n)/(b^n)


(4x^5*y^0)^-2/(z^3)^-2

since y^0 = 1, you can disreguard it

it should be easy from here
 
ok I got this part. but I am not sure I am doing this right. I did 1024* -2 twice.(1024*-1024*-1024) I got to big of a number. what am I doing wrong?
 
(4x^5y^0/z^3)^-2

try this .....

( 4 x^5 5 y^0 /z^3) ^-2

((4 . 5) x^5 y^0 z^-3)) ^-2

(20 x^5 z^-3) ^-2

(1/400) x^-10 z^6

(z^6)/ (400(x^10))
 
( 4 x^5 5 y^0 /z^3) ^-2

rewrite your original equation but focus on making sure the power applies to only the correct parts. (got carried away with 5's sorry)

(4x^5 y^0/z^3)^-2

(4 . x^5 . y^0 /z^3) ^-2 where the . means multiply

(4 . x^5 . 1. z^-3) ^-2

(1/16) (x^-10) (z^6)

(z^6)/(16(x^10))
 
You have showed me how to do this. It is still more confusing. I am still not understanding the operations.
 
Taking it from the top:
(4x^5y^0/z^3)^-2
4x^5 = 4*x*x*x*x*x
y^0 = 1
z^3 = z*z*z
So you have
4*x*x*x*x*x
-----------
z*z*z

That is raised to the -2 power.
That gives
z*z*z
-----------
4*x*x*x*x*x
raised to the 2 power or

z*z*z*z*z*z
----------------------
4*4*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x

Showing it in "math-speek
z^6/(16x^10)
 
Like APM did it. I was just showing them spread out.
a*a*a*a = a^4
